Life Doesn't End With 50!

I'm a FREAK when it comes to saving money.  As a mother of three, stay at home mom, child care...blah, blah... household of five, well... I can't afford to NOT be frugal.  Instead of putting all my focus on expensive cosmetics, and product, I try to find the most natural way possible to maintain health and beauty.  Topical agents, are just that; topical.  Topical agents only deal with the outward affects of our environment.  We all know, and have learned that what we eat, drink and do is what affects our overall health, more than external elements, or simply put; sun!  Aging comes sooner for those who live an unhealthy lifestyle, lack proper nourishment and exercise.  Of course genetics does play a HUGE part in how we age, but doing something to prevent aging is way more than battling external elements.  It's battling the internal ones as well!

The presense of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid contributes greatly to the positive affects of coconut oil.  Coconut oil has properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, etc.   Other health benefits of coconut oil include; hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength.  The Lauric acid found in coconut oil is converted into monolaurin which has been said to help in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and even HIV.   It also has been said to help in fighting harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia.  There has been research done through the  Coconut Research Center.  They have compiled various references on scientific research done on coconut oil.

Overall, general health; I recommend Coconut oil!  Get yours today at sunfoods!

Per SUN FOODS: 

Coconut Oil/Butter consists of 90+% raw saturated fat a rare and important building block of every cell in the human body. Unlike long-chain saturated animal fats (that have been associated with creating poor health), Coconut Oil contains healthy, healing, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs support the immune system, the thyroid gland, the nervous system, the skin, and they provide fast energy as well. The MCTs in Coconut Oil help increase metabolism and therefore help with weight loss. Historically, farm animals fed Coconut Oil were never found to be obese. When fed partially hydrogenated soybean oil, and other rancid fats, the animals quickly gained weight.

MCTs are known to have antiviral, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. For this reason, Coconut Oil/Butter is one of the best dietary fat sources for individuals on anti-candida diets.
